ness and prosperity? The asser-
tion, for it is only assertion that
the expenses of the war are over
and done with, is manifestly with
out foundation.
The war expense is going on and
will continue to go on so long as a
MANNED soldier of the late war, or
the widow of such q one exists. So
long as a name remains on the
pension roll the reason for the in
ternal revenue tax will continue in
full force. The removal of the tax
now placed on the two commodities
named can benefit no one except
those who use the articles, and it is
somewhat doubtful if their cost
would be materially cheapened to
the consumer, and it is safe to pre-
sumo that but little if any benefit
would result from the removal of
the tax save to the manufacturers
and dealers, two classes of persons
whose profits are sufficiently large.
The Democratic plan proposes to
leave those classes "aIone in their
glory" and to deal with those mat
ters which the necessities of our
people force them to purchase.
Articles Of food and clothing and
the various items of raw material
that enter into their composition
are now burdened with enormous
rates Of taxation, and here our
statesmen may so shape legislation
as to lift heavy and grieveous
burden from the shoulders of the
great mass of our population. The
Democrats are in majority in the
lower House and the country has
a Democratic administration, and
the party is firmly committed to
tariff reform. Let there be no
place in our ranks for laggards.
Convinced that our policy is the
true one and the best for the whole
country, let us perform our duty
and accept the consequences.

What Shall BE DOne2

1t is n fact acknowledged by
statesmen of all parties that the
surplus annually accumulating in
tho Treasury of the United
States will not fall below, and, per-
haps will exceed 100000, 900, and
it is further conceded that this
enormous surplus is the result of
continuing a rate of taxation great
ly in excess of the present neces-
sites of the government. In
view of this state of facts both the
great parties agree that reduc-
tion must be made, but differ as to
the plan by which the end may be
reached. Republican Statesmen
propose to reach the desired goal
by removing the internal revenue
from the only two articles upon
which it is levied, namely, whisky
and tobacco, and leave undisturbed
the long list of articles highly tax
ed under the existing tariff.
These men argue, and with some
show of candor, that the internal
revenue tax is one of the taxes
levied co meet the extraordinary
expenses of the civil war, and that
now, the war having closed and
the expenses thereof having ceas.
ed, common honesty would dictate
the removal of these taxes. The
Democratic Statesmen favor the
continuation of the taY on whisky
and tobacco, and a modification OF
the tariff law SO that ran material
may be imported free of duty, and
the removal of u portion of the tax
on the necessities of the people In
such manner as to cheaper the
cost Of living. Neither Of the
great parties are entirely united on
this vital question and a few, about
an equal number OF dissenters may
be found in each, but to the two
policies the great mass of tho lead,

The Senate, in it's subserviency to
Monopoly, might respond with a
bill to repeal the whisky and to-

vices Of drinking and smoking.
From u mere point of party view
the Democrats could desire moth

Two Roads For the Democracy.

In the great struggle upon which
the Democratic party in Congress
is about to enter there will be no
room for petty jealousies, personal
ambitions or the exercise OF II spirit
of faction. The question which
presses for solution is one which
concerns in q greater or less de-
gree the interests and well being
of every citizen of the Republic,
and therefore the intrusion into it
of the personal aims of politicians
and party leaders is q mere inn
pertinence. The Democratic party
has no means of banishing refract-
ory members, and in it's catholic
liberality it has no disposition to
do so. But those who will not
march with the Democratic pro-
cessiOn cannot expect to be longer
treated as chieftains of the party.
If any Democrat in the next Con-
gress should not consent to act
with the Administration and with
the great majority of his associates
upon the paramount issue of Rev
enue Reform, it would be folly and
treason to the party to place him
in position where he might SER
iously obstruct, if not utterly de-
feat its policy.
When the Democratic State Con-
vention of New York and Ohio
boldly took ground in favor of u
thorough revision of the tariffhopes
were indulged, not only by the Re-
publicans but by the extreme tariff
faction in the Democrrtic lines,
that the result would be u Dem
Ocratic defeat. In such case it
was proclaimed, Mr.. Cleveland and
Governor Hill would both be bowl
ed out of the list of competitors for
nomination for President in 1888.
In the New York platform the
tariff policy of the party was clear
ly and unequivocally outlined. 1t
declared that the taxes which
should he first removed are the inn
port duties on raw materials, be-
cause these duties make IL easy for
foreigners to compete with Ameri-
can manufacturers In their own
markets and at the same time
make 1t extremely difficult, II not
impossible, to sell the surplus pro-
ducts Of this country In foreign
markets. The taxes next to be re-
moved, the New York platform
proclaimed, are those imposed on
articles of necessity, which In
crease the cost of living to the
working masses of the people.
The administration of President
Cleveland, it cannot be doubted,
will lend all its legitimate intiu-
ence In behalf Of the policy ap-
proved and sustained by tho people
of the frst State of the Union,
Confronted by q Treasury surplus
OF 500, ,0OO, 900, wsung from unnec-
essary taxation, there Is no alter
J native but o revision OF tina tariff OF
